And you thought steering a narrowboat on a canal and going through a few locks was a steep learning curve...

 

I heard an article on tonight's PM Programme on Radio 4 about a 16 year old boy who was given one week's training by people traffickers, and then forced to illegally skipper a boat taking 300 migrants across the Med!
